"If the intent of the Biden admin is to re-engage with #Iran on nuclear talks, they must consider who will be sitting across the table. Zarif? his agents? People who were sent to kill us?"

"For the Biden admin, the verdict should weigh heavily on any relations with the regime. It should dispel any false nostalgia about working with Zarif as a force of influence in #Iran."

"I do not know what we have to gain from entering the same agreement. The real problem in the last talks was that #Iran set the terms. That can no longer be the strategy for the Biden admin."

#Iran's "moderate" President @HassanRouhani:
-No article of the 2015 nuclear deal (#JCPOA) will be changed.
-No individual (party) will be added to the JCPOA either.
-The Americans should know that to this day they
have been in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
Former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi
-#Iran doesn’t need nuclear weapons to “put an end” to the Zionist entity [Israel]
–However, @khamenei_ir might resort to changing fatwa banning nuclear weapons.

@SecBlinken @jakejsullivan @StateDept
"We haven't... had any discussions with the Iranians, and I wouldn't expect we would until those initial steps go forward," said U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price on the #Iran nuclear deal.
